Hi Adele, Firstly I think your website is excellent and I also like the background. Your page does load quickly but for me your logo/header does lag behind, everso slighty (only because I'm tuned into it). I noticed you have broken the image up to obviously help it load more quickly but it does appear to be the last thing that loads.

What I've noticed with BV is when you put the images on the builder, they publish in the order they were placed and when the page is being viewed on-line, the images load in that same order.

I noticed this was happening to my sites and then I realised if I start from the top and work my way down, the page loads (for me) in the right order.

But saying that Adele it's only when you build these sites for yourself do become more critical, but I think what you've done is great.

Regards

Darren

I really liked the overall design and the top 2/3 of the page. But why do we have a payment banner sitting in the middle of it all which really looks ugly by comparison to what is above and has not purpose there.

I'm also not too sure about:
- the large size logos. What is their purpose? Could they go on a separate page under "Our Brands" for instance. At the very least, smaller and tidy would be good.

- What is the point of the page rank thingy? And the miscellaneous links there?

- Also not keen on the wordy info at the very bottom of the page. It's just a distraction. Keep it clean, clear and simple.

Anyway, that's just my opinions for better or worse!

A very great website you have there!

Hi Adele,

Very nice and cozy-feeling kind of website. It makes me want to go back home and play with with my girl!

Cheers!
